Acoustic Singer/Songwriter

Brendan was born and raised in Finglas West, Dublin.  He studied Philosophy and Sociology at Trinity College Dublin. Since graduating in 1983 Brendan has worked as an Educational Welfare Officer.

Although a born singer and collector of songs, it was not until the early 1990's that Brendan Devereux began to express himself through songwriting. But it didn't take long for him to make his mark. In 1994 he was the winner of the Singer/Songwriter Contest at the Killarney Folk Festival, where he performed alongside Paul Brady, Jimmy McCarthy and Mick Hanley.

The self produced Copper Alley followed in 1996. Since then Brendan has continued to write songs of true quality, and he has lately released his second album "Songs from a Yellow Chair".

Derek Sivers, the President and founder of the world's largest internet retailer of independent music said of "Songs from a Yellow Chair",

"We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page. We get about 75 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 30,000 total), and yours is one of the best I've ever heard."

Brendan has performed at the International Festival of Song Poetry held in Lithuania. This was a week-long event which saw him perform in towns and cities around Lithuania, culminating in a grand concert in Vilnius, the capital city.
